Apocalypse Invasion: Survival on the Infinite Train
The scarred man was very frustrated.
He was certain that Ming Chu had seen the signal he gave in the car, but she had simply ignored him.
The scarred man's expression was cold, but the occasional glances he cast her way were resentful, as if he were looking at a faithless lover (companion version).
Ming Chu didn't feel guilty because of his gaze. On the contrary, she felt her previous decision was correct. The situation in this world was too bizarre. For instance, if they used some kind of holographic or hallucinatory method, and they thought they were exchanging information when it was actually a trap, what should they do?
What was the point of exchanging information if it was just going to be discovered?
Walking into the office building and turning a corner, the scarred man suddenly said, "I need to go back and get something."
The scarred man led Ming Chu to his office. He raised his hand to turn off the office surveillance, saying, "Regarding what happened outside earlier..."
That was the last thing left on the monitor before he changed his tone: "Why did you pretend not to..."
"Instructor," Ming Chu interrupted him. She looked confused. "Even if the situation outside isn't right, what does that have to do with us? We can't change anything. Right now, I just want to protect the people around me."
"Is that what you really think?" The scarred man might have missed some things, but he was sharp and intelligent enough.
He realized almost immediately that Ming Chu had interrupted him on purpose. She didn't seem to want to talk to him about anything else, even though he had already turned off the office surveillance.
Although he didn't understand why Ming Chu was so cautious, he played along.
"Are you really satisfied with that? You're so young. I can tell you're much more determined than your two companions. And if you want to be with that colleague named Xu Ruo, shouldn't you be thinking for her sake?"
Ming Chu immediately changed her tune: "If Sister Xu Ruo wants to change the status quo, I'll go with her."
The scarred man: "..."
Because his talent was [Information Perception], he could obtain more information related to his current identity and persona. That was why he could joke around with Wang Rui so naturally when he first met her.
